Week 2 - Lecture & Progression

To begin week 2 we had a lecture from a guest speaker, Suleiman Alhadidi of HASSELL Architects. He spoke of 'Perspective & Mobility' and explained the design process taken for several projects he had worked on both past and present. The one project that really caught my attention was the Flinders Street Train Station Re-development. He explained how and why the Arc formation was a key contributing factor into which they explored in keeping with the existing stations facade.http://www.hassellstudio.com/

Week 2 Oculus Progression :

We collectivley combined our understanding on our Oculus Back Brief. Our knowlegde at the time on Oculus and the Hong Kong Construction Industry was limited so we had a lot of researching to do. We split the research up and my scope was to focus on introducing our project (Oculus), giving an introduction to the Hong Kong Construction Industry and Comparing the Training process between Australia and Hong Kong. A Facebook group was also created to allow easy transfer of files, infomation & questions.
